अज्ञः सुखमाराध्यः सुखतरमाराध्यते विशेषज्ञः ।
ज्ञानलवदुर्विदग्धं ब्रह्मापि तं नरं न रञ्जयति ॥

What it means
Half-knowledge can be more dangerous than no knowledge. When we know a little, we often think we know it all and stop listening. Staying curious keeps the door to real learning open.हिंदी में अर्थ
अनजान को समझाना आसान है, जानकार को समझाना और भी आसान। पर जो थोड़ा-सा ज्ञान पाकर अकड़ गया हो, उसे तो स्वयं ब्रह्मा भी नहीं मना सकते।
अधूरा ज्ञान अज्ञान से भी ज़्यादा खतरनाक है। थोड़ा जानकर हम सब कुछ जानने का भ्रम पाल लेते हैं। सीखने की इच्छा बनाए रखें, तभी असली ज्ञान आता है।
Spoken by Bhartrihari.
